Monthly. If you buy a water pump for it, don't get it at autozone. I purchased one there and replaced the water pump three times since with their free exchange. They're junk. The last one I bought from NAPA and it lasted a year and a half. I don't know what it is about Dodge and water pumps or if it's just the aftermarket stuff but my RAM hasn't been right since it went out the first time and usually waterpumps rarely go bad. beware!
1st drain the radiator Disconnect the battery & then you have to get the fan off. Do this by putting a wrench on it and then taping the wrench this acts like an impact hammer. If you try and turn the wrench everything moves. Once the fan is removed pull it out if there is room, if not proceed to take the fan shroud off (should be 2 bolts on each side)and lift it out with the fan in it. You should disconnect the coolant overflow hose from the radiator and slide the window washer fluid tank (if it's attached)up off of the shroud. 2nd unloosen the water pump pully bolts(4) but do not remove. 3rd remove the belt and now you can take the bolts out of the water pump pully and remove it. 4th disconnect the heater & radiator hoses, remove pump bolts and pry pump off. You may have to buy a separate heater return tube if one does not come with the new pump

They are the same from 1994 to 2002.
No the 1999 and 2002 1500's are different body styles.
The 1999 to 2001 Dodge ram 1500 pickup truck water pump bolt pattern consists of two bolts on each side of the water pump. A picture of the bolt pattern can be obtained from most auto-parts stores.
The valves on a 1999 Dodge Ram 5.2L are not adjustable.
It will run out of water/coolant and you will blow your engine.
I have never heard of a mixer on a dodge truck.
